At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Subtropical Storm Leslie was

moving toward the southwest near 7 mph (11 km/h).  A general
southwestward motion with a decrease in forward speed is expected
during the next several days.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is possible, and Leslie could transition
into a tropical cyclone during the next few days.

Winds of 40 mph extend outward up to 255 miles (405 km) from the
center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 991 mb (29.27 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Leslie are affecting Bermuda and the
northern Leeward Islands and will reach other portions of the Lesser
Antilles, Greater Antilles, and Bahamas through Saturday. Swells are
expected to reach portions of the east coast of the United States
by Sunday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your local
weather office.
